When Chu Ge slowly raised his foot and then stomped down hard, Gao Zichang's pupils contracted, his scalp tingled, and he yelled "Ow!" as he rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding Chu Ge's right foot.

Raising his dust-covered head, looking at Chu Ge's arrogant face, Gao Zichang could hardly believe his eyes.

This... this is inside a temple! And there's a big crowd of onlookers beside! Is this kid crazy? How dare he act so brazenly in public? Doesn't he fear bringing an even worse impact to Tianjiao Group?

After missing the step, Chu Ge snorted through his nose, and with a wicked grin stared at Gao Zichang, "Hey? Pretty quick reflexes, huh? Don't want the forty thousand yuan?"

Chu Ge lifted his chin, crossed his arms over his chest, and unhurriedly took two more steps, once again raising his foot, aiming to stomp on Gao Zichang's unbandaged left leg, his arrogant and wild manner resembling a supervillain from movies and TV dramas.

"You... how dare you..."

Gao Zichang rolled and scrambled away once more, dodging Chu Ge's stomping foot, his face full of fear as he screamed out in shock.

"Oh heavens, is there no place for justice here? Bodhisattva, please show your spirit and save our old Gao... old Song!"

Gao Zichang's wife also continued to wail with tears, crying out loud.

The onlookers became even more outraged, pointing fingers at Chu Ge, mouthing harsher criticisms, but due to witnessing Chu Ge's arrogant stance of hitting whenever he spoke of hitting, none really dared to step forward.

"Chu Ge, stop!"

In this extremely chaotic scene, Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, only to feel a darkness before her eyes and a buzzing in her head. What he's doing is not resolving the issue at all; he's clearly intensifying it!

However, Chu Ge seemed not to hear Qin Ruojing's words, like a cat toying with a mouse, continuing his overwhelmingly arrogant stomping, pressing aggressively forward step by step.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Relax, once I break your left leg, I'll give you the forty thousand yuan, not a penny less. Don't dodge, stay put obediently!"

This time, Chu Ge's tone carried unmistakable impatience, and his eyes grew increasingly mocking, clearly showing he no longer wished to give Gao Zichang any chance to escape.

Sensing the seriousness in Chu Ge's words, Gao Zichang's heart pounded wildly, his face turned deathly pale.

"Whoosh!"

Chu Ge's foot came down faster than any previous time.

"Ah! Murder! Help!"

As Chu Ge's right foot landed, Gao Zichang's pupils contracted, almost scared out of his wits, he crawled two steps back using both hands and feet before standing up by supporting himself on the ground, running off toward the densest part of the crowd.

Watching Gao Zichang run more smoothly than an average person, the onlookers were stunned again, while the corners of Gao Zichang's wife and son's mouths twitched, He Qing laughed once more, shaking her head slightly.

"Eh? Your leg is fine now? No need for a crutch?"

Standing on the ground beside a crutch, Chu Ge stroked his chin, appearing quite surprised.

"Gah?"

Hearing Chu Ge's voice, Gao Zichang froze, instinctively stopped in his tracks, his face alternating between white and blue, a "Help" stuck in his throat forcibly swallowed back down.

The entire scene fell silent once again.

Under several strange gazes, Chu Ge leisurely walked behind Gao Zichang and asked again, "Old Song? Old Gao? I'm talking to you! Your leg is fine now?"

"I... uh... it's really a miracle! A miracle! How did my leg suddenly get better?"

Gao Zichang, very mechanically, slowly turned around, his face flushed red, stuttering out a sentence as awkward as could be.

Chu Ge sneered, suddenly reached out with his right hand to grab Gao Zichang by the collar, and swung him, a man weighing over a hundred pounds, up and down like picking up a chick.

"Thud"

A wallet fell out from Gao Zichang's pocket.

"Eh? A genuine leather wallet from Saint Paul, just the wallet itself is worth over three thousand, no? I recall you were saying just now you earn just over a thousand a month? Isn't using this a bit luxurious?"

Gao Zichang's facial skin trembled, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, he shook his head desperately, "Fake... fake, just a street stall item, costs dozens of bucks..."

Chu Ge curled the corner of his mouth, staring into Gao Zichang's eyes for a few seconds, then moved his right wrist and shook Gao Zichang up and down.

"Crash"

This time, a Buick car key fell out from Gao Zichang's pocket.

Chu Ge glanced down at the car key, looking even more surprised, "Eh? A Buick car key? The cheapest Buick is at least a hundred thousand, right? Are you trying to tell me this car key is also fake?"

Cold sweat poured even more from Gao Zichang's forehead, dripping down as he nodded like a pestle pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, it's fake, fake."

Chu Ge looked at Gao Zichang like he was an idiot, "Using it to pick up girls?"

After being scared by Chu Ge for so long and shaken up and down, faced with Chu Ge's continuous questioning, Gao Zichang was completely bewildered. He didn't even hear clearly what Ge was saying; he just instinctively shook his head like a rattle drum and then nodded like pounding garlic.

Chu Ge sneered and threw Gao Zichang to the ground next to the crutch.

"Then why don't you get a Porsche? Also, I say, you're at this age, your son is so grown up, isn't it a bit ridiculous to play these tricks?"

At this moment, the onlookers finally reacted that this so-called victim of a broken leg turned out to be a fraud!

Originally, everyone was very sympathetic to Gao Zichang. Now, realizing he was pretending to be the underprivileged to deceive everyone's feelings, they immediately cast more disdainful and contemptuous looks upon him than before.

As for when they looked at Qin Ruojing again, there was only guilt and awkwardness in their eyes.

If this wasn't a temple but a vegetable market, Gao Zichang's body would have been instantly covered with rotten vegetable leaves and eggs.

Amid the booing at Gao Zichang, Chu Ge returned to the two women, "Chairman, Miss He, shall we go?"

Looking at Chu Ge's relaxed demeanor, Qin Ruojing was truly speechless, rubbing her forehead and sighing, "Why didn't you say so sooner if you saw through it? My heart is still pounding now, you're really going to scare me to death eventually."

Chu Ge smiled apologetically, didn't explain anything, and returned to his stance as a proper driver.

"Miss He, I'm really sorry for such an unexpected incident. My driver can be a bit... um, peculiar at times. I hope you don't mind."

He Qing elegantly smiled, "Miss Qin, you exaggerate. I actually found it refreshing and quite admire your driver's style. Not that I wish for chaos, but if possible, I would genuinely enjoy seeing more such unexpected situations to see how your driver handles them."

Looking at He Qing's angelic, elegant smile, Chu Ge couldn't help but break a sweat. It felt like there were two devilish horns sprouting above her head.

If this isn't wishing for chaos, then what is?

The two stunning beauties exchanged some simple pleasantries, and then Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing, and He Qing made their way down the mountain amidst the apologetic gazes and words from the onlookers.

Sitting back in Qin Ruojing's Audi A8, He Qing finally brought up the matter that filled Qin Ruojing with both anticipation and nervousness—going to Tianjiao Film and Television.

More than half an hour later, Chu Ge drove the car back to the entrance of the Tianjiao Building and then, in the capacity of Qin Ruojing's secretary, accompanied the two women to the ninth floor of the Tianjiao Building.

Since He Qing had long made up her mind about investing in Tianjiao Film and Television, it actually made no difference whether she came or not. Let alone that Tianjiao Film and Television merely had some actors skipping schedules; even if it was just an empty shell, it wouldn't be an issue for her at all.

However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. It wouldn't be right if she didn't even take a look. Moreover, this was where Chu Ge had worked for some time, and she was indeed somewhat interested.

Because everyone at Tianjiao Film and Television had been notified in advance, they were all nervous and on edge, walking on thin ice, trying their best to present their best side; no one dared to let anything go wrong at this time.

When the employees of Tianjiao Film and Television saw He Qing, they were all astonished by her appearance and temperament as if seeing a celestial being. At the same time, the way everyone looked at Chu Ge turned into admiration.

On this point, even department heads were no exception. Their gaze was not only envious but also more polite. In their hearts, they couldn't help but ponder whether they had ever offended Chu Ge before and decided that no matter what, they must find an opportunity to become closer to him.

After all, Chu Ge is Qin Ruojing's driver and secretary. Once the cooperation is established, it means he will have plenty of opportunities to interact with He Qing. If he could leave a favorable impression on He Qing, that would be immensely beneficial for him.

Little did they know, Chu Ge never considered these things they dreamed of, and He Qing's true purpose in being here was to score points with Chu Ge, making him fall for her.

Stepping into Tianjiao Film and Television, He Qing just casually walked around, listened to Qin Ruojing talk about the situation at Tianjiao Film and Television, maintaining a graceful and serene demeanor on her face, making it impossible for Qin Ruojing to discern what she was thinking.

It wasn't until she walked into the Operation Management Department's office, her gaze swept past the position where Chu Ge used to sit, that her expression subtly changed, looking extremely casual and natural as she walked to that desk and used her delicate jade hand to tease the ornamental fish in the tank.

The change caught by Chu Ge made his mood even more peculiar.

What exactly does this woman want to do?
